We only use one TE in the passing game, so I think Beckum can actually play a decent roll for us as the 2nd TE, either in 2 TE sets or when Bennet needs a breather. He cant block though, but I still imagine him being another weapon for Eli on passing downs.

On 2 TE sets they try to sell the run (or actually run or give Eli an option), so Pascoe is the better option there.

Beckum can't block worth a **** and usually gets used as a slot target, but with the way Hixon, Barden and Randle are playing, there's no room there. Only other option really is in 3 TE short yardage situations, which is where Beckum got a lot of time anyway.

The other issue is, if Beckum is activated....who do you cut? Beckum wouldn't survive the move to practice squad and I honestly don't see many other guys they'd let go. Jernigan? Maybe Bernard to IR?

Well I don't see us carrying 5 safeties once everyone is healthy/back from suspension (Phillips, Rolle, Hill, Brown, Sash)

If we had to cut one of them I would go Sash. Jernigan is pretty useless too though.

I would love kp to come back, I'm being hypothetical. I am a sucker for will hill and stevie brown tho too.

Small sample size but I like what I see, specially with Hill but I'm bias when it comes to him even though everyone knows hes got so much talent and with his head on straight he can be a great player in this league.

The Giants' starting running back did not practice on Thursday during the portion of practice open to the media, and he has yet to practice this week. This marks the second straight week that Bradshaw has barely practiced; last week, he practiced only on Thursday due to a foot injury.

None of this should truly surprise anyone, because the injury-prone Bradshaw spent most of last season barely practicing. That's something Coughlin hoped to avoid this season, something he talked openly about last Wednesday.

"I don't want to go into that one-practice-a-week business that we've had," Coughlin said before Bradshaw missed last Wednesday's session. "So I'm hoping that this is something that he is able to overcome, and we see the end of it."

So far, that hasn't happened. Bradshaw missed both Wednesday and Thursday this week, sitting out pivotal install days for the Giants offense. He was joined by LB Jacquian Williams (knee), who also sat out his second straight day of practice and seems likely to miss Sunday's game in Dallas.

On the bright side, a handful of players returned to practice. C David Baas and DT Rocky Bernard (hip) were both back at practice, although Bernard seemed to be limited. TE Travis Beckum, who is practicing but hasn't been activated off the PUP just yet, worked with the tight ends, although that, too, seemed to be in a limited capacity.

S Kenny Phillips (knee) also worked with the safeties for the first time in weeks. He did the majority of individual drills with the safeties. He seemed the slightest bit tentative on his backpedals, but it was barely noticeable. Phillips hasn't played since Sept. 30.

Finally, Hakeem Nicks (foot/knee) continued to prove he's over his early-season injuries, practicing for a second straight day. He hasn't missed a practice in two weeks.
